And since they didn't, they want to stop you. You can't let them.”

“As I got older, I got craftier and less obvious, but I’ve always put a lot of energy and effort into people liking me.

Sure, she might seem a little crazy, and, yes, maybe everything she says sounds like conversation starters she found on a website, but at least she’s trying. Let’s give her a shot!”
